This document describes the usage of the Generic Routing Encapsulation
(GRE) header for Network Virtualization (NVGRE) in multi-tenant
data centers. Network Virtualization decouples virtual networks and
addresses from physical network infrastructure, providing isolation
and concurrency between multiple virtual networks on the same
physical network infrastructure. This document also introduces a
Network Virtualization framework to illustrate the use cases, but
the focus is on specifying the data-plane aspect of NVGRE.
